Alright, hear me out. Executive Card is really really strong, but... it's boring to use. While making it manual will definitely make it weaker, but will hopefully make it more enjoyable and open up more conventional standard equipment synergies (i.e. equipment cooldown reduction). Manual activation also has the side benefit of not accidentally depleting a multishop when it's swapped via Retool or is on cooldown from a different equipment. Overall, this version of Executive Card is a lot more deliberate, which is always a good thing in an equipment.

DML was already one of the weaker damage equipment, so considering that it has received multiple indirect nerfs (missile proc coefficient reduced and ICBM nerf), it really needs a buff in exchange.

Taking damage while using Eccentric Vase just feels cheap. This will remove that frustration and hopefully open up the new possibility of using it to escape from dangerous situations. It also now has a shorter cooldown and duration to hopefully make it more available for general traversal.

Milky Chrysalis' biggest downside is that it leaves you extremely vulnerable once the effect ends, a quality that often makes the equipment unfun to use. It also is less reliant on the airdash for general movement, as the increased acceleration allows you to move almost normally in the air.

Molotov isn't bad per se, but it's really inconsistent and can be troublesome to get value out of. Rather than strictly making it more powerful, I will instead give the player more opportunities to use it by reducing its cooldown.

Ocular HUD has the issue of falling off once you get enough items that boost your crit chance. Now it provides a synergy for high crit builds as well.

A tiny change that allows for a powerful combo, along with a cooldown reduction to help it not be as punishing if you miss.

Idk what else to do that would both (a) be balanced, and (b) still remain true to the item concept. At least when you want to use it to reveal stuff it actually stays revealed for a pretty long time now.

This greatly helps Super Massive Leech remain valuable in the mid to late game, as otherwise the actual damage you deal is surprisingly not that high. Inspired by Risky_Lives' RiskyMod.

Wow, ever heard of the novelty of actually letting you hit the same enemy repeatedly? This simple change alone makes the item so much more enjoyable, but I decided to also give it better mobility and damage as well as it has always felt pretty weak to me.

Royal Capacitor has a really short cooldown for how much damage it does. I think it's a bit overtuned, so its damage is being reduced slightly.

Jade Elephant's duration is just too short for something that you have to preemptively activate for a purely defensive benefit. In exchange for having this extended duration, it gives very slightly less damage reduction (going from 83.3% to 80%).
